I thought the same thing. Stuff along the lines of, "I remember beef tasting beefier, fish tasting ocean-ier, I guess I'm getting old."
Then relatively recently I had some steaks fresh butchered from the family farm after not having done so for many years. Grass grazing natural cow. Everything I remembered about beef.
It ain't you, it's what they're doing to the food.
Yeah, I grew up on grass fed pre gmo corn finished for marbling beef. It was delicious all on its own. Haven’t found a store or butcher yet who’s meat is consistently good. My high school buddy still lives in the area we grew up in and raises a couple a year. He said finding calves to start is get’n harder and your lucky if it don’t get sick and cost a bundle. Doesn’t know if he’ll bother next year.
If you don’t grow every bit of your food on land you know well you have no idea what you may be ingesting. Makes me wish I grew up Amish.
